[td]Before it was officially disbanded, however, the [[Spanish Civil War]] intervened and the corps split and served both sides. The garrisons stationed in [[Ferrol, Galicia|Ferrol]] and [[CΓ‘diz]] aligned with the [[Nationalist faction (Spanish Civil War)|Nationalist]] and the Navy Marines stationed there quickly secured the naval bases there. The detachment stationed on the two gunboats docked in [[Cartagena, Spain|Cartagena]] sided along with the crew of the gunboats with the [[Republican faction (Spanish Civil War)|Republicans]], as well as a detachment in [[Madrid]. During the bitterly fought war the Marines performed garrison duties, led landing parties, and provided expert artillery and machine gun crews.
